United Kingdom (London) Climate action skills for industry
BACKGROUND
Our sustainable future relies on transforming our relationship with materials – changing what and how we produce as well as what we consume (and waste).
The food and manufacturing industries are at the frontline of change through a combination of regulations, consumer behaviours, supply chains, technologies, tools and business models.
Delivering this level of change requires skills: government, industry and education are responding with a range of measures and initiatives, but not fast enough.
MISSION AND VISION
The UK Learning Venture leverages the learning potential of live, real-world manufacturing environments to accelerate transformative green skills in industry. We believe the places and people on the front line of change – the factories, markets, farms, warehouses and more – have the power to play a critical role.
We’re going straight to those places and people driving change to immerse learners in small parts of a future we want and need to create. They leave inspired, challenged, networked, and better equipped to play their part.
WHY SHOULD PEOPLE GET INVOLVED?
The UK Learning Venture creates meaningful and hands-on opportunities to engage with climate projects in real life and face to face.
It opens conversations and connections, creating a new currency of ideas and inspiration as well as building critical knowledge and skills. The formats are co-designed to ensure all stakeholders benefit, finding mutual interest between industry, communities, education and local government partners.
Forth are building on a portfolio of innovative Open Learning experiences and bring a network of influential and skilled partners and collaborators.
